Scud launched from Tartus’
Sources told Hürriyet that what hit the Turkish territory was a missile launched from the Syrian city of Tartus, which hosts a Russian naval base, some 200 kilometers from the Turkish border.
“The missile fell in an area that was outside the radar range of Patriot batteries in Turkey,” a source added.
...“The latest crisis shows that a Patriot missile battery should have been placed in Hatay. Of course Patriots can’t catch everything in the air, but the current positions of the batteries in Turkey can only defend certain interests,” he said.
Claiming NATO’s main purpose was to protect the U.S. airbase in Adana (İncirlik) and the NATO radar in Malatya (Kürecik), Karakuş said Hatay was actually the “riskiest area,” and thus the most important spot for a Patriot battery to be placed in order to protect Turkish citizens.
